Calling all artists — Enterprise Christmas Eve cover contest returns

Thursday

Entries must be sent to newsroom@enterprisenews.com by Thursday, Dec. 13.

BROCKTON — Your holiday illustration might just be cover-worthy.

The Enterprise’s annual Christmas Eve art contest is back for another year, calling on locals to submit their finest holiday-themed drawings for consideration.

The winning image will appear on the cover of the Dec. 24 edition of the Enterprise.

All entries must be original artwork, no photos allowed, and they must be sent as digital images to newsroom@enterprisenews.com.

Past winners have touched on all types of holiday themes — last year’s winner, Abington’s Dianne Panarelli Miller, painted a still life of a pair of ice skates below a poinsettias (her favorite flower). Two years ago, Brockton High School student Samantha Doherty earned the cover with a broad outdoor shot of a single, silhouetted and scarf-wearing figure skating on a pond as big, circular snowflakes fell.

Brockton High School students, annually encouraged to enter by school art director Sarah Richards, have claimed the cover in four of the last seven years. All local art classes are encouraged to submit entries.

Along with the winner, the Enterprise typically runs several entries on inside pages of the Christmas Eve edition.

Entries must be sent to newsroom@enterprisenews.com by Thursday, Dec. 13. Please include the artist’s name, hometown and phone number. For children, please include grade and school. We cannot accept submissions by regular mail.
